**HTC U1 Unveiled: A Shiny New Smartphone with Liquid Glass Design**

While You Were Sleeping, HTC unveiled their new top-of-the-line phone, the somewhat robotically named U1. Indeed, like Many Robots, it's very, very shiny due to its liquid glass design, which gives the phone a smooth kind of shiny Pebble-like feel. We dig it. The U1 features a 5.5-inch screen and HTC decided not to get in on the minimal bezel trend as the phone has regular bezels, buttons, and cameras on the front. Inside, the U1 is packing a Snapdragon 835 processor, 4 gigs of RAM, and 64 gigs of memory. There's also a 6 gig and 128 gig variant available in some countries if you still need more space. A Micro SD card slot is ready to serve out back there.

The phone also features Edge sense, so when you squeeze it, it'll do specific things that's kind of cool. The U1 also has an IP67 rating, meaning those accidental drops into the lake shouldn't end up being fatal. DT Mobile editor Julian Chatu has the lowdown on the U1, and hit the link for all the details in a Hands-On video.

**Amazon Unveils Alexa-Enabled TVs with Liquid Glass Design**

Amazon has a hit on their hands with the evo line of homebot hubs that feature AI agent Alexa. In case you aren't sure you want one of those round things in your house, maybe you'd feel better if Alexa lived in your TV well happy day! Your Alexa TV has just arrived and will likely be joined by many more in the near future. Amazon posted up their first series of new element 4K TVs for pre-order earlier today and they range in size from 43 to 65 inches and an affordable $450 to $900 in price.

Amazon includes an HD antenna in the deal and their Fire TV Service is baked right in, of course, to chat with Alexa. Just talk into the remote! The TVs are from Chinese company Tong Fang and marketed under the element brand name but they're assembled in the US. While they may not quite achieve video file levels of performance for most people, they're going to be just fine and truthfully they'll probably make a more functional home for Alexa as well. Hit the link for more details.

**Apple Updates Apple OS with Security Patches**

No, they aren't in response to the Wannacry ransomware attacks which did not target Apple gear but apple is pretty much updating everything that uses any Apple OS from Macs to iPhones to watches and Apple TV set-top boxes.

The updates aren't super major in scope but they do include some security updates and can considering the ferocity of the latest attack. We advise you to update now. The Mac OS update does include some useful new stuff besides security bits including more raw format codecs for photographers, a boot camp update, an audio bug fix, and an iTunes update. We've got a link for more info on all the updates so back up your data, pour yourself a cold one, and hit the go button!
